Power and Empire Chapter 1338: Holy Temple (2)
In the early summer on Salander Island, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the bluestone road leading to the distance in the wild is covered with dots of wild flowers on both sides, and you can see beautiful dancing butterflies falling from this flower bud to that flower bud everywhere. Similarly, you can hear countless buzzing sounds around your ears everywhere. It seems to be back to the blooming spring again,
The sky is very blue, there are almost no clouds in sight. The wind blows over the plains of the basin, swaying white weeds. The purple phoenix flower, a yellow petal of chrysanthemum leaf is swept up in the air, like a small boat floating in the water, along the sky like a transparent cover, a faint white line is drawn,
The humid monsoon drifting from the ocean brings the comfortable temperature of the Salander Peninsula, and occasionally brings a hint of coolness,
They can blow those flowers and green grass as much as they want, instead of just shaking the branches a little lazily like their brothers and sisters in the gentle spring breeze, the wind brings pleasant fragrance of flowers, just like a basin The traces of the undulating mountains on the edge are beautiful white like broken snow,
In order to celebrate the birth of the first prince of the empire, the romantic Salanders hung ribbons of various colors on the branches of the towns along the way, and the early summer when the flowers were in full bloom added a festive atmosphere. The slender fluff is flying up, turning into a faint pink and falling down,
The horse team of the Southern Governor Statunko came to the city of San Nicolas, where the temple headquarters is located. A hundred cavalry guards were divided into two queues, with an eight-horse horse-drawn carriage in the middle, and the horse team moved slowly. A huge wooden box was carried on the carriage, and the ruts creaked. It seemed that the weight was not light, and it was mighty and mighty along the way. Passers-by were frequently drawn to the side. Someone pointed at the wooden box. There were also girls who were passionate. His eyes flashed fiercely on the bodies of these black guards,
The fat man is wearing a black guard armor, riding on an ordinary horse, and walking slowly along the street among the hundred guards behind the southern governor Statunko. If no one is watching carefully, No one will notice the existence of this empire supreme,
He used his helmet to cover his face vigorously. But the naive appearance still caught the eyes of several Salander girls in colorful clothes on the side of the road, and the fat man naturally went back viciously and ruthlessly, and the few Salander girls pursed their mouths and made beautiful laughs, like flowers and butterflies. Ran away
at the end of the road, an old man in the sky sacrificial robe is already waiting,
He is about sixty years old, his face is broad, his expression is majestic and his head is full of white hair. He is followed by a few ordinary rituals who are about thirty years old. People passing by are saluting him one by one, and the old man pays his respects one by one, obviously I'm not ordinary,
The eyes of the old man in sacrificial robes lit up when he saw the black horse team slowly coming in the distance, and he came to face him with a few sacrificial offerings.
"Hello, honorable High Priest Timothy!"
Statunko stopped the horse ten meters in front of the old man. He was obviously an acquaintance with the old priest, with his right hand on his chest, and immediately nodded to the old man in the manner of the heavenly religion,
"Good day, Lord Governor!"
The old man’s face was taken aback, and he quickly replied respectfully to the governor of Salander, but he knew how powerful the governor was in Salander, although the temple was Salander. The spiritual leader of people, but in front of the governor of the empire, it is only superficial,
"This is the statue of the prophet we found in the Ulan Mutuo Underground Palace!" Statunko raised his whip and pointed to the wooden box, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly and kindly, Your Majesty It is said that since it is the prophet’s sacred object, of course it should be returned to the temple for processing! I have sent you more than three hundred miles of mountain roads without stopping. I spent a full 3 days. This favor, the elders remember to pay Me!"
" Of course, of course! I must remember the Governor’s kindness in my heart. "The old priest nodded quickly, his scorching gaze went over Statunko and shot directly at the huge wooden box in the middle of the horse team, with almost all eyes attached. On top of the wooden box,
"This...!" The old man gave a gaffe and said in surprise, "Is this the statue of the found prophet? It's really unexpected! If it weren't for the governor, I'm afraid that no one can put such a heavy weight. Something, pulled here from the southern black forest!
" is a bit too big!" Staturn turned his head and glanced, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. "But since it is your majesty's order, it will be done even if it is difficult! It's just..." Tatunko's voice stopped, his right hand wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said tiredly, "I have brought so many people here. With this in mind, it seems that it is difficult to transport you back directly. My people can help, but everyone has been on the way for a few days, the temple won’t even have a place to rest, right!"
"This...
" The high priest of Timothy looked ugly, the baptism of the saint was approaching, and the presbytery thought that the empire's eyes should still be in Normandy, but the arrival of the governor’s wife undoubtedly caused all kinds of variables in the original plan.
"Why, is there a problem?" Statunke wouldn’t let him think more, so he snorted in a murderous manner.
"How is that possible! The baptism of the new saint is approaching, and the governor is willing to come here. It is already a rare grace!" The high priest of Timothy was scared with sweat on his face. Don't look at the governor. The face is elegant, and the speech is polite, it doesn’t seem to have any lethality,
But just look at the extinction war in the Black Forest to know how wrong this is.
This empire governor holds a heavy hand, and on the mighty side, he can sit firmly in the seat of the military’s top leader in the Falcon Empire, which was founded by the Israeli military. How can he be an ordinary person? This is the real person in Saskatchewan. Rand is a powerful figure who can kill people without blinking, and a ruthless character who can decide countless lives and deaths with one word.
This time it was actually delivered by him personally, which undoubtedly made the old man feel very stressful,
He has a dignified face, while leading the way, he hurriedly whispered a few words in the ear of an ordinary priest next to him,
This priest turned around suddenly when no one noticed,
Statunko saw it clearly from behind, rolled his eyes, and just wanted to send someone to follow, but the corner of his eyes saw the fat man shook his head at him, Statunko could only give up. His face was calm, as if he saw nothing, but foolishly followed behind the high priest of Timothy, and came to the stone road leading to the temple on the back mountain of the city.
In front of my eyes is a huge bulging hill. At the top of the hill, you can vaguely see a densely covered building complex. Although it is dilapidated, under the blue sky and blue shadow, there is an impulse to worship
" This is the holy place that the noble church has just moved into! Statunko looked at the buildings on the top of the mountain, opened his mouth, and asked in astonishment the high priest of Timothy with the road ahead, expressing this Is the so-called holy place too broken!"
"Like the Governor laughed!"
The high priest of Timothy blushed, and he responded with some embarrassment, "The governor may have also heard that the priesthood of the elders was only decided on this year’s Winter Veil Festival, and the headquarters of the temple will be replaced by a temporary location. Vic moved to St. Nicholas.
Because time is tight, the so-called Saint Nicholas is a medium-sized city in the middle of Salander Island. It is named after the city at the foot of Nicholas Mountain. This is the place where the sky prophet Ferran spread the doctrine of the sky, so it was regarded as a holy place. Give a name"
"Since it is a sacred place, why does it become what it is now?" Statuen Keguang retracted from a distance and continued to ask
The high priest of Emperor Moss shook his head with emotion on his face
"We don’t know, even if it’s not recorded in the classics, we can only say that because of some unknown reasons, after the great Prophet of Responsibility had left, the Holy Church suddenly decided to close all the temples on St. Nicholas Mountain. , Moved the headquarters to the prosperous southern area of the island,
"It’s really sad to say it! If you didn’t move out of the Holy Land, or there would be no imbalance between the North and the South, you wouldn’t have seen it. Now the Holy Land is reopened, and hundreds of years of wind and rain have already turned the original magnificent The temple was turned into ruins, and it hurts people to look at it!"
"So it's a shame!" Statunko sighed with emotion,
all the way up the staggering trail, there are tall weeds on the road, the carriage is squeezing the cracked granite pavement, you can still see many traces of history, and you can see the sky from time to time by the overgrown mountain trail. All kinds of broken statues taught,
Some masons knocked and beat on the stones on the side of the road, filled with the smell of lime choking people
" Who are these craftsmen?" Statunko frowned slightly~IndoMTL.com~The horse suddenly stopped with a severe face
" The temple is old and needs to be repaired, and the ceremony of the new saint is imminent, these roads also need to be repaired!" The high priest Timothy said casually from turning around. He just finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened. Where, I screamed inwardly, and when it was over, I accidentally said that I exposed my mouth!
"The ceremony of the new saint! Why don't I know? Or are you planning to canonize the new saint without the empire!"
Sure enough, the icy voice of the governor of the southern empire came from behind, and it was like a transition from midsummer to winter
"No...
. No, it's just a ceremony! "The High Priest of Timothy is full of sweat rolling, and explained with a trembling voice
"According to the tradition of our sky sacred religion, the saint must first go through a ceremony to determine the qualifications to enter the election, so it is just an identification ceremony"
"It turned out to be just a selection of Yiyuan." Statunke's cold face has a slight warmth and snorted. "I hope so, otherwise, you should know the importance of your majesty to this matter, the consequences It's not what you and I want to see! "
" Of course, of course! "The high priest of Timothy wiped the sweat from his head with his white sacrificial robe, and his head nodded like a chicken." Even if we have the courage, we dare not hide it. The empire privately registered the saint!
